  H.R. No. 1021
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, For more than 50 years, the National Aeronautics and
  Space Administration has played a vital role in the life of the
  nation and the State of Texas; and
         WHEREAS, Created by Congress in 1958, NASA ushered in an era
  of exciting innovations that have contributed to our nation's
  security, safety, and communications; from medical advances,
  including MRI and CAT scan technology, fetal heart monitors, and
  programmable heart pacemakers, to explorations of space and
  important scientific discoveries about our solar system and beyond,
  NASA has inspired generations of Americans; and
         WHEREAS, The agency has especially benefited the people of
  Texas; the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston is the home of
  America's astronaut corps, the site of mission control, and NASA's
  lead center for the International Space Station; it employs more
  than 3,300 civil servants and some 13,000 contractors and awards
  $5.3 billion in annual contracts; and
         WHEREAS, NASA's Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program
  has helped small businesses with technical challenges, resulting in
  the creation of new jobs and business ventures, and the agency's
  technological breakthroughs have positively impacted all of the
  state's major industries; furthermore, through such programs as
  Texas Aerospace Scholars, the NASA Explorer Schools, and the
  Network of Educator Astronaut Teachers, NASA has nurtured and
  inspired countless young people to become scientists, engineers,
  and explorers; and
         WHEREAS, The year 2010 was significant for NASA as it
  celebrated the passage of the NASA Authorization Act, the 10th
  anniversary of the International Space Station, and the successful
  completion of three shuttle missions; in 2011, the agency will
  finish assembling the ISS and retire the shuttle fleet after two
  more missions; and
         WHEREAS, NASA is a valued and indispensible part of the
  economy and culture of the Lone Star State, and Texans may indeed
  take great pride in the agency's extraordinary contributions to
  human knowledge, the spirit of exploration, and the progress of
  science and technology; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the accomplishments and ongoing legacy of
  the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and recognize
  March 31, 2011, as Space Day; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for NASA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
  of Representatives.
